Giant Rider-Waite® Tarot Deck

I love this deck. The cards are big and easy to see, which makes them perfect for my YouTube and TikTok videos. I tried using them for daily readings, but they’re a little too big and difficult to shuffle. Overall, I love them and they serve my purpose.

Having used the Radiant Rider-Waite deck for years, I didn’t realize the artwork itself had been improved upon in that deck until I got this one! The Radiant deck is stunning, vibrant, clear and has much more detail than the original RWS deck and I highly recommend it. Even though it’s been re-illustrated, it’s basically RWS in 4K HD and feels amazing to use. However, the original RWS artwork and coloring here is one of a kind. High contrast, crisp line work, rich accurate colors, pure whites and blacks without any odd toning or exaggerated colors. They’re magical. Keep in mind these cards are huge, so opt for the standard RWS deck for readings if you have smaller hands, however keep these around to bask in the artwork up close.

To each its own. For me I have learned to love them for reflection. I don’t feel it’s for readings for me. The picture/color quality was off putting but these are blown up Original Rider Waite cards. I connected with mine instantly so couldn’t part ways with them because they aren’t perfect; nothing is perfect and I’m learning to be okay with it. Thank you!

Really a nice deck. A pleasure to have. Looking through the large cards it feels as-if one is truly seeing them for the first time. And the Little White Book that comes with it is nearly as large as the cards, with a typeface big enough that it isn't at all a trial to attempt reading. If you like Tarot I doubt that you will be disappointed if you should happen to purchase these cards. They are truly nice. I regret the months I spent postponing buying them! LOL!

I have more than enough tarot decks at this point - some with creative artwork, and many with the Rider-Waite images in unique formats (such as shimmery foil backgrounds, or different colors). So I definitely did NOT need another deck! But for some reason I bought these. They're hard to shuffle because they're so big - I usually just spread them out on the table and swirl them around. They're just fun to play with. The main way I use them is when I'm referencing one of my tarot books to learn about the card meanings. I find that it's easier to see the small details on each card since they're bigger than normal. I may even frame a few of my favorite images to hang on the wall, or use them in my crafting/artwork. The card stock is thick and the colors are bright. As I said, I certainly didn't need these but they're fun!

GOOD

Absolutely love the giant size. I wish all of my Tarot Card Decks were this size. The details of the artwork is very clear. As a collector I am glad that I invested in this deck. Most of my Tarot Decks are reprinted from older decks. In those decks the Suite of Pentacles is called the Suite of Coins and is represented by the symbol of a gold coin. In the Rider-Waite Decks the Suite of Pentacles is represented by the symbol of a pentagram. The pentagram is a five pointed star. Many perceive the pentagram as a negative symbol. They assoiciate this symbol with the dark side of spirituality. (Sometimes negative perceptions can negatively affect Tarot Readings). I have avoided buying Rider-Waite Decks for that reason. In my Tarot Readings I only want positive energy to influence the reading. As a Tarot Reader you have to be mindful of the perceptions of others. The pentagram might not be an issue for you, but it might be for someone else. With this Giant Rider-Waite Deck I decided to change the symbol of the pentagram with gold coins. To do this I went to a craft store and bought a "Sharpie" Mentallic Gold Pen with a medium pen point. The above photos show the before/ after. The King of Pentacles is now holding a gold coin and the Queen of Pentacles is holding the symbol of the pentagram. As you can see, the symbol of the pentagram on the King of Pentacles is completely covered up. It will be the same with the Queen of Pentacles. I plan on embellishing further by using a black mentallic pen, with a fine point, to make it look more like a coin. In my other decks, the coin has Roman Numerals in the center. Overall, I am very happy with this deck and I am satisfied with how I embellished the gold coins in the Suite of Pentacles. I have another Rider-Waite Tarot Deck that I plan doing the same too. This way I avoid anyone's negative perceptions so that positive energy can dominate my Tarot Readings.
